Jet’s Pizza franchisee Noah Creighton has plans to open his second Jet’s Pizza location in Buckhead this year in a 1,160-square-foot space at 857 Collier Rd NW, Suite 11. Creighton told What Now Atlanta that he is currently in the permitting phase and is targeting a late summer or early fall opening.

Creighton has a long history with the company, working for nine years on the corporate side of the business. He formerly worked as a corporate trainer for Jet’s Pizza in Michigan, developing a close relationship with Jet’s founders John Jetts, Jimmy Galloway and Jeff Galloway. About a year and a half ago, Creighton moved to Atlanta and took over ownership of the existing Jet’s location on Powers Ferry and Delk Road in Marietta in October 2024.

This new location will allow Creighton to bring Jet’s Pizza to a new area of Atlanta, including Buckhead, the Upper Westside and Midtown.

“I’m really excited. This will be the first Jet’s ITP,” Creighton said. “That was a big goal of mine: to have one closer to the city because all the Jet’s here are in the suburbs. There’s not one that’s actually in Atlanta, so let’s be the first one. I think it’s going to be an amazing location.”

The brand is known for its Detroit-style deep dish pizza, featuring square pizzas with fluffy centers and crunchy edges.

“Jet’s is incredible because we make all of our products in house,” Creighton said. “At my store, we arrive at 8 a.m. to make our dough fresh every day. All of our sauce we make in house. We grate our own cheese. We get the freshest quality ingredients from our vendors.”

Eventually, Creighton would like to expand to 5-7 locations.

Jet’s is the 9th largest pizza chain in the country. It has 10 existing locations in Georgia, all located in the Greater Atlanta area.
